"Can't we just get away from this area first?" Shadowstar said, impatiently. "I don't know about you, but I had rather planned on remaining alive. The Twolegs will be back at any moment to finish what they started; if they find any of us here, they'll kill us. We should get away from here first, then worry about where we're going next."

"I'll go first; I know where the caves are, exactly," Poppyfur said. She didn't want to talk about how she'd found them; when she'd run in fear from the Twolegs and had instinctively searched for a hiding place when she'd gotten lost in the forest. Of course, she'd found her way back, and she knew she could find the caves again; perhaps the act of offering the caves as a place for them to go to now, would go some way to righting the wrongs.

Goldenstar strided along next to Poppyfur. he was secretly extremely proud of his deputy.

Willowstar noticed Stonetail furthering the distance between himself and the medicine cats but didn't say anything, however unlikely it may seem she doubted he would escape Snowpaw and Coalmask for very long.
